Bob’s Burgers Holiday Short On the Fort Day of Christmas Arrives December 7

Bob’s Burgers: On the Fort Day of Christmas premieres on December 7, 2026. Creator and executive producer Loren Bouchard revealed the date and presented a new preview at the show’s New York Comic Con panel on October 10, according to Laughing Place’s panel report.

The project is a holiday short. It was first announced at San Diego Comic-Con in July; the NYCC news supplies the specific premiere date and a further look at the Belcher children’s Christmas adventure.

What is On the Fort Day of Christmas about?

A major Christmas snowstorm gives Tina, Gene and Louise the chance to build an enormous snow fort. The children’s construction project is the central setup described in Animation World Network’s July report, which credits 20th Television Animation as its source.

Where will it stream?

The reported distribution plan distinguishes the United States from international markets:

• United States: Hulu, plus Hulu on Disney+ for eligible bundle subscribers.
• Internationally: Disney+ in most markets, according to the distributor information reported by Vital Thrills.

“Most markets” leaves room for local differences. A specific Swedish Disney+ listing has not been established in the current announcement, so viewers should check their local service before treating December 7 as a guaranteed release in their country.

The reported date also does not specify a release hour. No exact runtime or episode number has been announced in the sources above.

Is this the Season 17 premiere?

The short has its own December streaming launch. Season 17 is due on FOX in 2027, with no exact premiere day established in the current reports. The two dates refer to separate releases; December 7 should not be used as the next regular season’s start date.
